I would love to see a few videos of Sean mixing from start to finish and Dan coming in at the end asks: IS IT SHIT?

[@StudioLife101]

😂 Actually got a video course coming of me mixing a track from start to finish….👍

[@MrBrownAlliance]

Dan… ‘I’m up the bloody tree’, Great song! When are you doing the Dan plain T-Shirt Merch?

[@johndoe-cb5ck]

Dan is so wise...hehe. Finally a real studio tour!!...thanks!

[@peterwaterman2007]

Thank you very much for my own personal episode. Very interested to hear how the HRKs stand up against the Roger Mayer 456…

[@StudioLife101]

Way more control…tape speed, red or blue fabric harmonics, tape drive mix, fabric mix….you can get nice tape sheen or nasty crunchy tape drive and anything in between 👍

[@1loveMusic2003]

I find that the Pro VLA ll is great for thickening compression. Very smooth and transparent. Pulls up the low level stuff really well and unlinking widens the mix a little. I like the 260 VU from Audioscape for drums but you can't over do it or use parallel. Check it out!

[@StudioLife101]

Will have a look 👍

[@Tha_Mekka]

BART HRK 500 modules are so slept on and yet, there so great and you can get a pair of modules for the price you’d pay for one Neve portico or ssl modules. Love your set up. Been looking for gear I can add to my setup to route summing and stereo bus mixes out and back in my DAW.

[@StudioLife101]

🙏 HRK are amazing….pick and choose great stuff that adds to your palette. 👍

[@Rhuggins]

@@StudioLife101 would fancy a demo of some of these modules. I cant physically believe they are any good for the price. Its like a mental block. Id love to consider the diode bridge but....yeah

[@olivertevcev125]

There is a plugin that i believe is an emulation of the cross compressor, QX Comp by Psycho Circuitry, and it's free. I thought you would be interested to check out, maybe cross (pardon the pun) compare with the hardware and feature it on the show. Cheers

[@richertz]

It sounds like the trick many do with fabfilter multiband where your I trigger transients using bass information

[@legacyShredder1]

God damn, finally. Of course the plugin are shit, show me the gear. Just kidding. Love you dudes.

[@Joe_Rainey]

What are your thoughts on summing mixers?

[@StudioLife101]

Have used them....didn't notice anything better over just routing buses to outboard and back in again.... Depends on the situation I guess. If it's the only chance to add some analogue mojo....then maybe it's worth it. Gotta let your ears decide 👍

[@persywho5863]

how dare you leave out the boombox on top of the ns10

[@StudioLife101]

😂😂Good point

[@gabet3754]

HRK is garbage. Just get the neve. Plus HRK has terrible customer service

[@StudioLife101]

That’s just not true…their customer service has been excellent in my experience. And as for garbage….nope they’re not at all. But hey….if you have a different experience we’d be happy to hear it.
